Ahmad Zahid hopes their success will be just the right tonic to spur them to continue to bring glory to Malaysia on the international stage.
“Our two new pairs put up a thrilling and closely-fought match.
“Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved for your efforts and commitment,” he said in a Facebook post today.
